favored and staiNtrt station-m1sters,
| There is generally some space about
them that can be used as u garden,
md this, however small, is frequently
kent CAV with flowers. Two OF the
Great companies offer rewards for the
best-lept stations and signal-boxes,
and on these lines flowery stations are
naturally most common, but on the
other lines youmay often see attempts
to get rid OF the Inherent hideousness
that clings TO a, railway. The usual
garden is n marrow strip between the
platform for passengers and the IN
closing railing. 1t is enacted by Par
lament that no post, rail or other OBJ
stacle shall come nearer than six feet
from the edge of the platform, and this
makes it necessary to inclose quite
wide space. Between the six feet of
platform and the fence is the
station-master's garden. The flowers
that he grows differ according to
the soil of the district. In a
rich clay he will have standard rose
trees as the principal feature; in
warm, light soil his strong point may
be the chrysanthemums tied back
against the palings. But as his object
is to have plenty of color all the year
round, you will generally find that the
main part of the border is filled with
fresh plants in each season, such as
the gardener uses for his spring and
summer beds. In the spring there are
blossom from February till June, blue
forgenmenots (Myosotis dtssititlora)
that keeps gay almost as long, pan
sizes, wall-flowers and the yellow alys-
sum and white iheris-hardy crucifer-
Gus plants that grow in big clumps
against the edging of tile or ornamen-
tai stone. breaking the stiffness OF the
line, and bringing a mass OF flowers i'll
early spring. In May or early June
when ell danger of frost is over, he
will plant geraniums, calceolarias To-
belias and such like tender peren-
mails, and his sweet peas, convol-
vuli, nemoDhila. and other ANIMALS
will come into blossom. But the gay
est time OF ell is in late summer and
early autumn, for then his garden is
full of dahlias, nasturtiums trained up
the fence, China .asters, marigolds
French and Africanl, phloxes, and all
the gaudy flowers that come into BIOS
som after the kindly influence OF II few
warm months. These and many 9TH
er plants are to be found in most of
the gardens; but as all gardening that
is done lovingly shows individuality,
you will notice as you travel that each
station has some particular flower by
which you can remember 1.-THE roses
at Halton Junction, the dahlias at
Micote, There has been nothing
welcome in American railroad manage
ment than the imitation of our Eng
lish brethren in their treatment OF
their stations, and nothingis regarded
with a more lively or sympathetic in
terest than the horticultural ambitions
and struggles ofthe station-masters on
some OF our leading lines.

REALITY IN DREAMLAND.
A Man Meets Family of Whom He
had Dreamed Nightly.
From the Oakland Tribune

FROM Tue OuhAtUU ITlONIJS.
Twenty years ago a bachelor in Oakland
dreamed of visiting family consisting of
parents and two little girls, who were un
known to him in his waking hours.
From that time forth he continued to
dream of them for a score of years. He
saw the children grow from childhood to
womanhood. He was present at the closing
exercises when they graduated. In fact, he
shared all the pleasures and griefs of this
family.
His friendship to his dreamland friends
seemed so real that he often remarked that
he felt certain that he would know them in
reality at some future time.
Two months ago he saw in dream the
husband die, and from that time he ceased
to dream of them for the first time in a pc
Rod of twenty years. About six weeks ago
he was astonished at receiving letter from
New York city, the writer being the widow
of cousin of his, with whom he had never
had any intercourse since his boyhood, over
thirty years The widow wrote that she
wished TO make San Francisco her future
home. After exchanging few letters 1t
was arranged for him TO meet her and the
two daughters at the Oakland wharf upon
the arrival of an Eastern train on a certain
day. On their arrival, imagine his surprise
to see his dream friends. They were equally
so when he related his strange series of
dreams in which they figured He told
them incidents connected with their past
lives which lie could not have known under
ordinary circumstances. Hedescrtbed their
former home, even to the furniture ana
household ornaments which was correct III

Gently married the widow, and Is living
